AI Dubbing Just Got Ethical

Published by nocamels.com on December 7, 2023.

An Israeli startup that uses artificial intelligence to dub movies and TV shows into different languages has launched the first initiative of its kind to provide fair compensation to voice actors for the use of their voices in AI-powered dubbing and other synthetic voice projects.

Deepdub uses proprietary AI to generate synthetic voices that capture the emotion and delivery of the original performances, but in a new language. The technology streamlines the labor-intensive dubbing process and reduces costs, while matching the quality of traditional workflows.

Now, the startup’s new Voice Artist Royalty Program will save the submitted audio samples of voice actors in its marketplace and allow their “vocal profile” to be available for use in various films and shows.

The program ensures that artists are compensated every time their voice is chosen for a project.

“At Deepdub, we want to ensure voice talent are rightfully rewarded for their artistry and skill,” said Ofir Krakowski, CEO and co-founder of Deepdub. “Our Voice Artist Royalty Program enables performers to tap into the expanding world of AI voice tech in an ethical, mutually beneficial way.”

Emiliano Calemzuk, chairman of Deepdub’s advisory board and former President of Fox Television Studios, said: “AI holds tremendous promise for the entertainment industry and is fundamentally changing how content is created and distributed.
